Michael's Fonts

I was recording an intro video about myself to send to people, typing up a document while screen recording, and I typed "faliure" instead of "failure". Couldn't get it right. I just sat there staring at it. That's when I thought, what if the font just fixed it for me?

So I made Autocorrect. It's a font that corrects common misspellings. You type the wrong thing, the font shows the right thing. No spellcheck needed. Works in most apps. Based on Instrument Sans by Rodrigo Fuenzalida. Free under the SIL Open Font License.

Select All is now on Primary Foundry's library. You can download it there alongside fonts from other foundries and designers.

Primary Foundry is run by Jonathan Maghen out of Los Angeles. The library is a curated collection of open-source typefaces available under the Open Font License.

A font isn't just letters someone drew. It's a file with dozens of hidden parts that all have to work together or your text won't show right. The left shows the parts list. The middle is you trying to put it all together. The right is you reading the spec. Every font engineer has been all three of these people. I still get confused on what all the parts do. Learning as I go.
